News from the Benches of the Senate

7 – 15 – 12 

You are right to ask what the numbers mean and why they are the starting point about the latest news at the Academic Student Senate. You should know that this involves the statistics of access to the minutes of the last three sessions. It's no wonder and, in fact, it's hard to blame anyone for not reading the minutes regularly, as they are hidden in the far corners of the Document Server of the IS. In order to get to them, one must prepare a significant supply of clicks.

Someone looking for the minutes could well be reminded of a dialogue from Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

"But, Mr. Dent, those plans were available at the local planning office for three-quarters of a year."

"Yeah, and as soon as I found out, I went to look at them - yesterday afternoon it was. You didn't exactly try very hard to inform anyone about it, did you? Like actually telling someone.”

"But those plans were posted..."

“Posted? In the end, I had to go look for them in the basement.”

"That is where the department that posts them is located."

"With a flashlight."

"Perhaps there was a power outage at the moment."

"And the stairs must have fallen away, too."

"Look, did you find the notification or not?"

"Yes, I did. At the bottom of a locked registration box, which had been placed in a discontinued lavatory where there was a sign on the door: “Beware of leopard!”

Now this complicated searching is a thing of the past. AS FSS has a new website (senat.fss.muni.cz), where everything is all together and quite clear, I trust. I believe that this is the first step in raising interest in what is happening in the Senate, and possibly, at the faculty. In the next newsletters, we will present only the most interesting points that we at the senate face. The rest you will find yourself... now that you know where ;)
